The lavender haired teen grabbed onto her large sweater to pull it over her face, and then she accidentally let out a spew of giggles. She blushed more, knowing how childish she possibly looked, and she tried not to giggle any more than that but all attempts to shut up was futile. "U-u-uh...uhm...d-do you wanna g-g-go explore the rest of the village??" she said from inside her sweater.

"Sure!" Valen replied. Still laughing a little bit. It seemed like there was a lot left to see of the village. "I'd like to see the rest of it."

"Alright! Let's go!!" Lily jumped up and out of the booth, popping her flushed face out of the sweater, earning a few chuckles and chatter consisting of : "Lily's so chipper as usual" "when is she ever not hyper?" and similar comments.

Valen, still trying to convince himself that no one else was watching, jumped up and followed Lily out the front door. He could feel his nerves getting tight with all the public eyes that he knew had been looking.

"So where to next?" He asked Lily, trying to move his mind on to the next leg of their tour.

Lily just walked, shrugging as she glanced at Valen with a cheeky smile and flushed face. "I dunno." her eyes shimmered once again. She looked around and pointed some buildings out, not really sure where to go next at all. And then, she remembered. "Why don't I show you the meadow where we're having the toddlers play in a couple of weeks?"

Valen walked along beside her, glancing at things as she did, trying to follow her line of sight.

"That would be neat," he said. "I'd like to see a bit of the country around the village."

Lily smiled, leading Valen down a path that split off from the main street, gold leaves hanging above them with the trees made the path narrow, but soon they opened up to a clearing with soft grass and a few flowers scattered around, all surrounded by the trees of the forest. The path surrounded the clearing, and split off into another part of the forest but Lily just walked off onto the clearing and took a deep breath of the fresh air.

(Last post of the night for me. Enjoyed!)

Valen followed along, gazing up at the golden leaves and the magnificent looking trees. Soon they came to a clearing and Lily stopped there. He followed her out into the clearing and looked around. It seemed like a very peaceful place.

(Alright! Same! G'night)

"Is this the glade?" Valen asked, looking around at the flowers and tallnflowing grass.

"Yup!" Lily then plopped down on the grass, "further down the path is a small lake, which most of us use to swim in when it's too hot out." She then laid on the grass and started rolling back 'n' forth in it

Valen looked back towards the lake. "A lake?" He smiled. "That sounds like fun!"

He watched Lily roll back and forth, then sat down over near her in the grass. "I like it out here, it's peaceful."

"I'm glad you think so." she said, "this meadow is where some big events happen. Festivals, meetings, etc."

"I like festivals..." Valen said. "But they scare me... There are always so many people. I don't do well with large crowds."

"Well..." Lily thought...bit her lip...and then she spoke up. "There's this biiiig festival that happens twice a year. It's amazing. It's a festival to show our gratitude to the forest, since we're able to live so well in the middle of it under the giant tree. And at that festival, master would perform a trick, a ritual to heal the giant tree so it'll last yet another year..." she paused, "this year, I get to perform the trick for the first time, me being the cleric of the village for a long while"

She closed her violet eyes. "But the festival will only be in a couple of months..."

Valen listened to her description. It certainly sounded like a big event.

"Well... I'm sure I would be able to make it to watch your part. That must be exciting getting to do that! Maybe in a few months I'll be more used to all the people here."

(Can Zelph, Braux, and Diaze join?)

(Why yes they can!!)

Lily giggled, staring at the sky. She then started to wonder about her sister, was she fine? Fine all alone? She shook her head as her eyes seemed to dull a bit.

Aza was sitting outside of the clinic, knees against her chest. "She'll be home soon...right?" she said to no one in particular, as anyone else would think. But the hallucination of a girl with crazy, messy pink hair and crazed pink eyes sat in front of her. "she'll be back, sis. She's fine, I'm sure of it!"

"Out! out! out!"yelled the shop owner as he pushed Zelph and Diaze out. Braux walked out calmly, bowed and apologized to the owner. When the man went back inside, Braux looked down at them. "This is why we can't go anywhere nice." he sighed and pinched the brim of his nose.
We were really enjoying that tea.
Yeah!
Why do they always ruin it...
All the voices in his head grumbled.

Zelph pointed at Diaze and growled, "It's your fault. I said I wanted the last sweet and you go and buy it anyway." Diaze looked offended, "You ALWAYS get the last sweet, I wanted it this time." Zelph crossed her arms and pouted. Then she looked at Braux, "Am I right?"

Braux shook his head, "Regardless if your right or wrong, starting a brawl in a shop is impolite." he sighed. Running a hand through his pink hair and adjusting his glasses, she looked up at the shop.
This is the third shop this week that we've been kicked out of.
They have no control.
We should leave them behind.

Braux shook his head and looked at Zelph. Diaze could handle himself, but Zelph...she was important to him. No. Now stop talking. He ordered the voices to calm down.

Zelph brushed off her clothes and almost wanted to crisp Diaze with a bout of flame, but she wouldn't. Not after what Braux said. Diaze picked at his fang and looked away from them. So what if he was wrong, that sweet was worth it.
